Question 242224: Can you please tell me, If the diameter is 1.50", what is the circumference?
Also, If the diameter is 1.75", what is the circumference?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The circumference (c) of a circle is the distance around the circle.
The diameter (d) is the distance across the circle and through the center.
Pi = pi, is the ratio between the two.
.
The equation is: pi=c%2Fd, but since we are looking for the circumference, we can use the equation this way: c=pi%2Ad
.
It's best to use a calculator with these problems. If your calculator does not have the symbol for Pi, then use its rounded value: 3.14
.
c=pi%2A1.50
c=4.71
.
c=pi%2A1.75
c=5.50
.
Done!
